Big thanks to the Martineau, Christy, and Nelson families for helping with our team dinner this past week. For a reference to future parents hosting team dinners they used about 8 packages of pasta, 4 large salad kits, 8 long loaves of French bread and about 80 cookies. There were maybe 10-15 kids missing that would probably normally come. Just as a reference, now you don't always have to do pasta but it is easy and a usual favorite. This week the team dinner will be at the Hess residence: 1259 S Kentucky Derby Way. Please park at the tennis court and swimming pool on Western Drive and walk.
Cindy Reaveley (Katie's Mom) is heading up some team yard signs that say your name and Farmington XC. If you are interested (this is totally optional) the cost for a yard XC sign is $10. All you need to do is Venmo the $10 to @cindreav and in the comments list what name you want on the sign. This is not run through the school, it is a parent run event so again, you do not have to do this. If you are interested, please Venmo Cindy by midnight on Tuesday night (24th) so she can get going on the order.
Another thing going on is I have been in touch with Hype Socks and we are looking into doing an order with them for some Farmington XC socks. This is the design we are going with so if you are interested in purchasing a pair of socks, please fill out this form so Coach Brower can invoice your MyDSD and you can pay for them there. The cost for a pair of socks is $15. This is also optional. Please fill this form out by midnight on Wednesday night if you want some socks. 2021 Farmington XC Sock Order
This week we have our Pre-Region race at Layton park on Thursday. Check the schedule below for the exact time of your race, but the first race will be at 3:30. Please make sure you fill out the race conflict form or the bus conflict form if you have any conflicts with the meet this week. The race will just be a two mile race but will give you a preview of the region course. Please ride the bus to and from the meet unless there is a circumstance that won't allow that (which should be rare).

Weekly Mileage Chart: This week we will increase our mileage up 10% so we should be at 100% of our max mileage. If you are planning a max of 40 miles, you should hit 40 this week. The best way to get some more mileage is to have a longer run on Saturday and do a few doubles where you run at practice and in the morning. Wednesdays would be great days to get a morning run in.
